Shocker: Greens Tasmania' incomes slide
Jun 26^th, 2012 at 1:06am

An economic snapshot of Australia's regions has reported a decline in household incomes in Tasmania.

The annual State of the Regions Report shows between 2009 to 2012 wages decreased in all three Tasmanian regions.

The report is commissioned by the Australian Local Government Association and prepared by National Economics.

Co-author Dr Ian Manning has described Tasmania's performance as 'sad.'

This is unfortunatel but what happens when the Greens get a serious say in how something is run.

Going just to work in Sydney or Melbourne is a costly deduction from their wages. Give me a lower pay in a quality place than double-pay in either Sydney Shang-Hai or Melbourne Mogadishu.

Things are dearer in Tassie! Also try living in a small town in Tassie and needing a tradesperson. I was quoted $1300 for a concrete slab 3m x 1.5m.

Things are dearer in Tassie!

Also try living in a small town in Tassie and needing a tradesperson. I was quoted $1300 for a concrete slab 3m x 1.5m.

The reason is the flood of ‘immigrants’ from the mainland wanting to convert our new purchases to something other than the historically sloppy standards most buildings older than 20 years were constructed with here.
On the other hand you can strike it lucky as I did. I have an ex-yank builder who works faster than three Tassie builders and thinks on the run. Has a great sense of homour too. When he first migrated to Tassie 35 years ago he gave up working for local building companies as the other workers kept telling him to
‘Slow down and stop bein’ so fuXXin fussy’ (translation:- “fussy” means doing things properly.)

I live in rural Tassie and still have access to a brilliant builder (ex Yank). OK, I know I’m luckier than most down here.

Things are dearer in Tassie? That’s a rash generalisation. Depends on which ’things’ you’re referring to.
The main downsides here are the horrifying consequences of living under State and Local Gov’ts so corrupt they make Joe Bjelke Petterson (remember him?) look like a saint.
If you find that hard to believe read Richard Flanagan’s “TOXIC:The Rotting Underbelly of the Tasmanian Salmon Industry” (Pub’l.Penguin.Random House.2021)
